Surely Newman has to be elevated at the end of this year along with Foote, Papley and Swampy.

I don't really understand how the rookie elevations work but wouldn't that mean they have to take 4 blokes places? Who goes?

It does. I think we have a couple of spare spots on the senior list at the moment. Whether we can afford to fill all spaces on the senior list will remain to be seen.

We always go into the season minimum senior list size and stock up on rookies. Better for the salary cap. I cant see us ever changing from this approach. (while the rookie list is still alive)

Excellent! Could find the ball, reads the play well, skills on both sides look okay, just a few rash decisions but understandable given his age. A lot to like.

NEAFL Grand Final to be played at BISP with the first bounce at 1.30pm...so stupid to not have this as a double header. Could have easily been played at Spotless or ANZ with a 12pm start.
Just to be clear, it is SUNDAY @ 1:30pm. From a selfish point of view, I'm quite happy about it, makes it easier to organise the masses for Saturday without worrying about the ressies GF.
Agree, a curtain raiser would have been great...

The two clubs actually preferred the Sunday so they wouldn't have to withhold any player as emergencies for the AFL QF

nankervis seemed a bit of a butcher when I was watching, is that common for him?

Makes sense in that respect.

He shanked one set shot pretty badly, and was made to look worse by the wind, but other than that I thought he was pretty good with his kicking.

Hmm, I hate these types of comparisons, but maybe a little like Michael Walters?

Right, right. It seemed like he was dominant in the forward line with his height, so i guess i was disappointed by his scoreboard impact

I am going to unreservedly hold you to that and it will be your fault if he doesn't end up as good or better than him!
He looks like he is going to be a bit taller than Walters.
I was thinking he could develop into a Luke Bruest type, but that's an opinion based on watching him live in one single game of football.
As you know Grim, his family was sitting behind us on Saturday and were very enthusiastic. The last time I had the pleasure of sitting in close proximity to an equally enthusiastic players family when their baby was making their debut as a 16yo was Isaac Heeney's family. His Mum was as vocal and supportive as any parent I've seen.
Hope that's an omen...

I didn't watch the whole game but Nankervis was a presence up forward but I saw him miss a few he should have kicked. I am not talking about shanks, just Kicks I would want him to make. I was only watching on youtube though so I didn't have any indication of the wind/conditions that might have made it a little bit tougher.
I watched the full game. Nankervis was absolutely dominant and took a number of strong grabs in the fd50. Bell looks like a keeper when his draft year comes up. Jones didn't play in the first quarter (I think) but certainly livened things up when he came on with his aggression at the player and ball. Have to admit I was a little worried about the physical safety of the Aspley players on a few occasions when Jones charged in to tackle them. A sneaky chance of playing in a final I think. Laidler was very good.

Jack Steele injured at training yesterday and out for the year...big blow for the Giants NEAFL team on Sunday.
Wow, that is a massive loss for the Giants, he knocks up 30+ touches week in, week out and would be in just about any other senior side in the comp, ours included.

I generally make it a policy not to celebrate injuries, but I'm quietly fist pumping. That's basically their most dangerous mid gone

Hiscox and nankervis (trade) and mitchell (trade) if he goes.
